  • Advertising Attribution: How to Know Which Cannabis Ads Are Driving Dollars
    2025/05/01

    Many cannabis marketers struggle to connect the dots between their advertising efforts and sales. The truth is customers rarely convert after seeing just one ad. Instead, they engage with multiple touchpoints on their buyer’s journey — CTV, Digital Out-of-Home (DOOH), Display, Google Search, SEO, and more—before making a purchase. Yet, most businesses still rely on outdated last-click attribution, which only credits the final interaction and ignores the role of brand awareness and the halo effect.

    In this webinar, we’ll break it all down in simple terms. You’ll learn what an attribution model is, why it matters, and how to assign value across different marketing channels properly. No more guessing which ads are working—this session will help you measure and optimize your marketing for real results.

    Key Topics Covered:

    • Understanding the Halo Effect – how brand awareness drives conversions across all channels.
    • Types of attribution models: Last-Click, Linear, Time Decay, Position-Based, and Data-Driven.
    • How to assign weights to each media channel, from CTV and DOOH to Display, Native, and Paid Search.
    • Simple steps to set up an MTA model without getting lost in complex data.

    Meet Your Expert:

    Joining us is Alexander Morrise, PhD, Head of Graph Data Science and AI at building Louie.ai, who has helped countless businesses move beyond spray and pray advertising to data-backed decision-making. With years of experience in programmatic advertising and analytics, Jake and Alexander will provide real-world examples to help you grasp the power of attribution.

    What You’ll Walk Away With:

    • A clear understanding of how customers engage with your ads across different platforms.
    • The ability to identify and leverage assist channels—even if they don’t drive immediate conversions.
    • A framework for measuring the real impact of your cannabis marketing investments and adjusting spend accordingly
    • Confidence in using attribution models to improve decision-making and increase revenue.


    This session is designed for all business owners and marketers who want to stop wasting money on ineffective ads and start making informed, data-driven decisions. No technical expertise required—just a willingness to learn how modern marketing works.

  • What Your Deep Discounts Are Saying About Your Cannabis Business
    2025/03/14

    Your pricing strategy sends hidden signals that can either enhance or diminish your brand’s value in the eyes of consumers.

    While deep discounts may drive short-term sales, they can also suggest that your products lack quality, are overpriced at full value, or that your business is struggling to maintain customer loyalty. Additionally, consistent discounting conditions your customers to wait for sales rather than purchasing at full price, making it harder to establish perceived value and long-term profitability. Understanding the psychology behind pricing is essential to shaping consumer perception and ensuring long-term growth.

    As eCommerce evolves, consumer decision-making has shifted from mass marketing tactics to relationship-driven engagement. Chelsea Burns, CEO of The Marketing Psychologist, will walk you through the process of developing a pricing strategy that not only maximizes revenue but also strengthens your brand equity. By bridging marketing psychology with practical application, you’ll gain key insights into how pricing influences consumer trust and purchasing behavior.

    What You’ll Learn

    • The hidden impact of discounting on consumer trust and brand perception.
    • How to implement value-based pricing strategies that enhance brand equity.
    • Actionable steps to move away from discount-driven sales and build long-term customer relationships.

    Transition from mass discounting to a value-driven approach that fosters long-term customer relationships and sustainable business growth.

  • You Already Own The Data! Learn How First-Party Data Lowers Customer Acquisition Costs and Increases Retention
    2025/01/16

    A dollar saved is a dollar earned— especially when it comes to customer acquisition costs. Acquisition costs refer to the expenses businesses incur when attracting and winning new customers, which can cost five times more than retaining an existing customer. In the cannabis industry, companies are not only contending with each other to acquire new customers; they must also compete with pay-to-play directories such as Weedmaps, which all but own the “deals on cannabis” market.

    The challenges of acquiring new customers go beyond creating a cost-effective strategy. To ensure a high acquisition cost is worthwhile, you must also find ways to retain those newly acquired customers in an environment shaped by strict regulations and cut-throat competition. But the effort is well worth it! Increasing customer retention by 5% can increase profits from 25-95%.

    The key to addressing your biggest customer acquisition and retention questions lies in the power of first-party data. As it is collected directly from your customers or users, first-party data is more reliable, accurate, and specific to your business. Using first-party data, cannabis companies can efficiently target the right audience and build long-term relationships with existing customers by understanding their preferences.

    During our 60-minute webinar, you’ll discover how to:

    • Lower your customer acquisition costs
    • Maximize customer acquisition and retention efforts
    • Leverage first-party data for personalized marketing
    • Optimize your ROI and conversion rates
    • Transform one-time buyers into loyal brand advocates
    • Stay ahead of the competition in a dynamic market

    In this webinar, you’ll dive deep into the concepts that are revolutionizing the way cannabis companies operate. We’ll explore the art of leveraging first-party data, utilizing it to lower customer acquisition costs and enhance customer retention. You’ll discover the secrets behind identifying your most valuable customers, understanding their behaviors, and tailoring your marketing efforts to create lasting connections. After watching, you’ll possess a wealth of knowledge and actionable insights that can reshape your approach— and even negate the need for your expensive Weedmaps subscription.

    Reserve your spot today to learn how you can keep your business thriving using data you already own. This information creates opportunities to reimagine your marketing approach, increase efficiency, and boost your bottom line. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to drive acquisition and retention success in the cannabis industry.
